Do I really need a pond filter?

Do All Ponds Need Filtration? No. If you are intending not to have any fish, or you’re creating a wildlife pond with high plant stocks and just a few fish you may choose not to have a filter, and try to create a natural balance instead. You will need plenty of plants, probably covering two thirds of the pond area.

Can you over filter a pond?

Where is the best place to put a pond filter?
